Jordan Peele is unleashing another worthwhile piece of distinct filmmaking.
Only a few years ago known best for the comedy-sketch series “Key & Peele,” he reshaped our perception of him as an artist with the thought-provoking, genre-shaking 2017 horror film “Get Out” and another, “Us,” in 2019.
Now comes “Nope,” which — at least at first blush — is both his most impressive work from a technical standpoint and his least ambitious in terms of social commentary and thematic examination.
